Sam was a pirate for Halloween. We did our trick-or-treating in our building. We invited 5 families over for dinner and trick or treating. 10 adults, 13 kids under the age of 7. Crazy. Very Crazy.

One Minute
That's how long you have to take your eye off Brooke before she can get into mommy's makeup bag. That would be Bobbi Brown blush---about $20 worth.

Apple King
Sam made an apple crown at school last Thursday. I met Christine, Sam and Brooke in Central Park for lunch that day.

Dancing Brooke
She is the cutest thing! She had a fun time this weekend too. She can hang with the big kids!
Fishin'
Griffen and Sam posing with their big catch! The picture doesn't do this fish justice. It was a monster in person. And it put up a heck of a fight.
Poconos
Last weekend, our friends invited us to their family's moutain home. We had a really fun time. They had a pond in the back yard. Jordan and Sam both caught a fish!

Howdy!
It's been a while! We had a great summer. It's great to be back in New York though--the best time of year up here. School started for Jordan this past week. She has a wonderful teacher.
Sam starts school this Monday. He's glad to be home too. He missed his little buddies up here.
Brooke is doing great! She's not a baby anymore. She is one of the rowdy kids. She and Sam play well together.

Space Shuttle
We were in Florida for the Fourth of July. Vero Beach is approximately 60 miles from where the shuttle takes off. The picture doesn't really do the moment justice---really cool to see.
We also have great "audio" of the moment, as Christine video-ed it with the lens cap still on the camcorder. I could have thrown her to the sharks!
Click on the picture and you will get a better view of the shuttle.

Crazy Lady!
That's what Mom calls Brooke these days. This was down in Destin, breaking for a little chips and salsa. As you can see, she breaks a lot....
Sam and Griff Just Hangin'
Sam and his buddy Griffin, hanging in the Great Lawn, our favorite picnic spot.
Sam's B-Day Party
Big Sam turned 3 recently. We had a Spiderman birthday party at Central Park last Saturday. All his buddies were there.
Brooke Brooke
There she is! Walking all over the place. I believe she's doing an imitation of the big bronze bear behind her in Central Park.
Destin
It's been awhile since we've blogged. This is a pic from our trip to Destin back in May. It was a great trip--beautiful water.
It was around this time that Brooke really started walking.

Two Front Teeth
Jordan's two front teeth were both loose. One of them has been ready to come out for a while. Well, yesterday we took a trip out of the city, and wrapped up our day with a Target run. Jordan was swinging the shopping cart around and it hit her square in the front teeth. They both fell out along with a lot of blood! She knew she was bleeding pretty bad, but freaked out when she saw herself in the mirror. It was a gusher! Mama freaked out too, which didn't help matters. She was fine minutes later. Seeing her without her two front teeth was a little sad, because it reminded us of how fast she is growing up.
The tooth fairy was shocked to see 2 teeth. She left $6. Not bad!

Jiminy Peak
Our friends invited us to their father's home in Lenox, Ma last week during Jordan's winter recess. It was the first time skiing for Jordan, Christine and myself. Fortunately, there are no action photos. I'm sure we didn't look too good. Actually, Christine looked pretty good. After one trip down, she had it down. She looked like she belonged there. But for me, skiing is much more awkward than I would have imagined. And packed snow is only slightly more cushiony than a parking lot when you land on it. I still have some aches and pains.
On Jordan's third day, it clicked with her. She graduated from Jiminy Cricket (the bunny slope) to the 180 (novice slope). She'll be better than me by next winter.
Brooke's Beautiful Eyes
Brooke is growing way too fast for me. She is starting to seem more like a toddler and I feel I am losing my baby (Bryant still says she is the last one). She is not walking yet but pulling up on everything and into everything she can reach. This is her pulling up on my legs and saying Mama. This is a hard face to resist so I usually end up picking her up. Will blog again when she starts taking steps.
Our family as a whole is doing wonderful and life is very good. We feel so very blessed to be having such amazing opportunities and making true friendships. Jordan and Sam are both doing amazing.
Love to all and miss everyone, Christine
P.S. from Bryant regarding our last baby: What Christine is not understanding is there will always be a last baby that gets big and stops being a baby. I'm just trying to help her get past that point. It's inevitable. Plus, what is wrong with 3? There are 3 in the Trinity. Why try to top that? Can I get an Amen?

Blue Eyes...
..and that would be Lamby underneath her. Don't EVEN think of trying to put her in bed without Lamby!
Bronx Zoo
We took the subway up to the Bronx Zoo Saturday before last. It is an awesome zoo. The tigers were really active that day, walking right up to the glass window.

It's Been a While
And it's been a good January. It's been a mild winter so far. We've gone the entire month without a flake of snow. Crazy.
Big Brooke's 1st birthday was a couple weeks ago. She's got her daddy's belly. She's pulling herself up, but not walking yet. Won't be long now.
Well, our first year lease is up on our apartment. We had the option of signing another 1 year, or signing a 2 year and avoiding another price gouging next year. We can't see ourselves wanting to move in a year, so we went ahead and signed a 2 year.
Jordan has her own room now. We closed off the dining room. It's small, but it's hers. She loves it.
Sam is not My anymore. He's just Sam. Still a big fan of the diaper. He has a new friend by the name of Griffen. Griffen is 3 1/2. Sam calls him Nate. We guess it is because he thinks it is his cousin Nate whom he played with while we were back in Dallas. They do kinda look alike. And they wrestle alike.
Christine and I are fine. We had a big date night Saturday. We went to dinner and to broadway---saw The Producers.
Gotta go.
